ROCHESTER, NY — The best golfers in the world have returned to Rochester’s Oak Hill Country Club for the first time in a decade to play the 2023 PGA Championship. The venerable Donald Ross course has undergone an extensive renovation and hundreds of trees have been removed from the property since the tournament was here 10 years ago, but it promises to push the players, and their equipment, to the limit. With thick rough, narrow fairways and tricky greens, Oak Hill does not surrender birdies easily.
Take a close-up look at the golf equipment star players like Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm and Brooks Keopka are using this week at Oak Hill.
